The internet has changed the relationship between people and contents – people participate in and have become a part of contents. In this interactive art work the viewer’s presence mixes with an abstract world of squares and delicately drawn grid lines.

Ito Jakuchu (1716-1800), was an early modern Japanese artist active in Kyoto during the Edo Period. Jakuchu has left us with a unique style of painting where the surface is made up of a grid of tens of thousands of squares or tiles that are individually colored. This work shares the motifs and method of expression of Jakuchu’s, “Birds, Animals, and Flowering Plants”, and “Trees, Flowers, Birds and Animals”.

The first scholarly monograph to explore the work of the popular international art collective known as teamLab. 

Worlds Unbound introduces and contextualizes the artistic output of the Tokyo-based digital art collective teamLab, known for its electrifying installations that transcend boundaries between gallery, public space, and popular entertainment. In the twenty years since its founding in 2001, teamLab has grown into a global multidisciplinary collaboration with more than six hundred participants, including engineers, computer graphics animators, mathematicians, graphic designers, architects, artists, and computer programmers. With lavish illustrations throughout, this book provides a comprehensive overview of teamLab’s artistic vision and achievements, illuminating the remarkable scope of the group’s groundbreaking art and its fundamental contributions to the pivotal field of new media art.

Unpacking teamLab’s digital environments, from framed works animated on a loop to immersive environments that unfold in real time and respond to viewer behavior, Worlds Unbound illustrates how the collective uses the concept of interdependency to interrelate the natural world, participatory culture, and the digital art experience.
